@Sano:
This is the first time I got to see Stampede, and I have to say this is my favorite of the recent One Piece movies (Strong World, Z, and Gold). Also this is my first time I get a lot of the dub voices for the Dressrosa characters, since I haven't seen the english dub of Episode of Sabo. I will say I really like the dub voices for Bartolomeo, Cavendish, and Fujitora, and each voice fits their characters perfectly.
Chris Rager was great choice for the new voice of Blackbeard. I really enjoyed Johnny Yong Bosch's performance as Sabo, he fits the character a lot more then Vic did in my opinion.
Agreed on all counts. How'd you feel about Sengoku?
I remember hearing (or reading?) an interview–I think it was the Cavendish actor interview--about how they don't hold casting calls anymore. They're so busy that they have to cast just off of memory of who they know. So then it comes down to who has been in the business long enough to know everyone's range. It's a bummer to hear that Funi is so busy they can't sink time into finding new talent and hunting for the perfect voice (rather than just the first one that comes to mind as a good fit). Guess it helps, as things are, to have a guy who has been around for so long (Mike McFarland) and will therefore know the most people to keep variety in the show.
